Parkside la-la la
Nyck @ Knight
Wake up call, ain't no dial up
Put my life on the line to get higher up
Told my plug I ain't high enough
I called that nigga back, said "I ain't high enough"
Put my life on the line to get higher up
Told my plug I ain't high enough
I called that nigga back, said "I ain't high enough"
It's a wake up call
Wake up, fly away and just escape it all
How you gon' come up when you ain't raise the stakes at all?
Okay, you can never lose if you embrace the fall
Uh, you can never lose if you embrace the fall
While you're surfing through your TV
Nyck @ Knight changing your channels
Watch them boys make it look easy
First episode can get cancelled
I come alive in the shadows at the dark
We proceed wake up, smell the coffee, and roll your tree
High off life I might OD
Oh you home from work? Bitch, I work at home
Oh that's Nyck and Kirk? Don't act like y'all didn't know
Bitch don't call my phone, no service can't talk about it
Dose 'til I overload, might just cause a power outage
Wake up call, ain't no dial up
Put my life on the line to get higher up
Told my plug I ain't high enough
I called that nigga back, said "I ain't high enough"
Wake up call, ain't no dial up
Put my life on the line to get higher up
Told my plug I ain't high enough
I called that nigga back, said "I ain't high enough"
Make sure when you see the duo your plug up to par
'Cause your kush got me smoke close but no cigar
I'm smoking fronto hard for a newbie, might leave a scar
It take you on a high road you start seeing stars
With the right connect it might be your wake up call
Do you smell the coffee nigga, get your dreams involved
The world up in your palms, new year I can't drop the ball
Gotta switch it up if you can't evolve
Forget about the past, fuck that erase it all
I got issues clouding my judgement, I know that y'all can relate to that
But if you pick the pieces up and see the bigger picture then it really ain't as bad
Working on it like a maniac, overthinking when I'm alone
But never lose sight of the goal at hand
Only thing on the buzz be the dial tone
La-la la, la-la-la la, la
La la-la-la la
The song "Dial Up" by Nyck Caution is about the artist's ambition to reach new heights in his career, even if it means putting his life on the line. The wake-up call metaphor is used to describe the urgency and importance of pursuing one's dreams. The lyrics also touch upon the struggles of addiction and overthinking, which can cloud one's judgement, but ultimately, the focus should remain on the goal at hand. The line "only thing on the buzz be the dial tone" is a play on words, where the artist is saying that the only thing he is interested in hearing is the sound of his phone ringing with new opportunities.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of taking risks and pushing oneself higher to achieve success. The repetition of the line "I ain't high enough" reflects the idea that there is always room for improvement, and one must continue to push themselves to reach new levels. The line "watch them boys make it look easy, first episode can get cancelled" acknowledges the fact that success is not guaranteed and one must work hard to maintain it.
Overall, the song "Dial Up" is a motivational track that encourages listeners to pursue their dreams, even in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Wake up call, ain't no dial up
It's not a matter of waiting for your turn, you have to be proactive
Put my life on the line to get higher up
I'm willing to take risks to achieve my goals
Told my plug I ain't high enough
I don't feel satisfied with my current level of success
I called that nigga back, said "I ain't high enough"
I'm not afraid to communicate my intentions and goals with others
How you gon' come up when you ain't raise the stakes at all?
You can't expect to achieve great things if you're not willing to take risks and make sacrifices
You can never lose if you embrace the fall
Failure is just a part of the process, and if you learn from it, you can only get better
Nyck @ Knight changing your channels
We're constantly adapting and evolving our music and art to keep our audience engaged and entertained
High off life I might OD
I'm so passionate about what I do that I could easily become consumed by it
Oh that's Nyck and Kirk? Don't act like y'all didn't know
We're making an impact in the industry, and people are starting to take notice
Dose 'til I overload, might just cause a power outage
I'm pushing myself to the limit and beyond, and I'm not afraid to disrupt the status quo
Make sure when you see the duo your plug up to par
Make sure your connections are solid and reliable, especially when it comes to finding quality weed
With the right connect it might be your wake up call
The right opportunities and connections can change your life and put you on the path to success
I'm smoking fronto hard for a newbie, might leave a scar
I'm not afraid to try new things, even if it comes with risks
Do you smell the coffee nigga, get your dreams involved
Wake up and start chasing your dreams, don't just sit around and wait for them to come to you
Gotta switch it up if you can't evolve
If you're not growing and adapting, you're falling behind
Forget about the past, fuck that erase it all
Don't let your past mistakes and failures hold you back from achieving your goals
But if you pick the pieces up and see the bigger picture then it really ain't as bad
If you learn from your mistakes and stay focused on your goals, setbacks and failures are just temporary
Working on it like a maniac, overthinking when I'm alone
I'm putting in the work and the effort to achieve my goals, but sometimes I get stuck in my own head and overthink things
But never lose sight of the goal at hand
I may get sidetracked or distracted, but I always stay focused on the bigger picture and my ultimate goals
Only thing on the buzz be the dial tone
I'm constantly pushing myself and striving for success, and I won't settle for anything less
